Artist: SavatageAlbum: Hall of the Mountain King Old Rating: 4/5
Verdict: For some reason this album is often held up as the crowning jewel of USPM and I've never been able to hear why. The title track is very good and none of it is bad, but it generally doesn't get my blood boiling in any way. Just one of those 'classics' that I felt obligated to pick up when the opportunity arose (the only other Savatage CD I own is the From the Gutter to the Stage compilation). I've never been blown away by the album (I'll acknowledge it's a solid 4 star release, but there are a lot of solid 4 star releases in the world) and this re-visit did nothing to change my mind. Overrated.
New Rating: No Change. |
I love that album. The guitar sound is awesome! A 5 star for me and I don't give that many stars very often.
